Sound Intone I80 Wire Headphones (with Mic & Volume) Review

I've never had a good quality headphones to use. All I've ever had were headphones that have small ear pieces, or ones that fit into your ears (which I hate). I'm happy to get Sound Intone I80 Wire Headphones (with Mic&Volume) to review.


These headphones are one of my Christmas presents to me from my husband. I stash away some products I get for review to wrap as presents. Of course I've pretested them. They work! I've needed a set for work so bad. I have to do a lot of tutorials online, and have a problem hearing over the distractions in the room. I have 2 co-workers that talk non-stop. Not that there's anything wrong with talking, but I can't concentrate to listen to tutorials, or to write tests when idol chit chat is going on. That's just how I am. Now when I go to write a test I can block out the noise with these headphone. I can listen to classical music, and still concentrate. 

The headphone do block out outside noises way better than any other headphones I've ever had. The sounds is great. I do have problems in general with a lot of things fitting my head. I have a long skinny head. Apparently my head is smaller than most. These headphone are adjustable, but not quite small enough to fit snug on me. I feel a little like they could slip down off my head. 

The thought has occurred to me before that I may need kid sized headphones and hats much like my sister needs kid sized bracelets and watches.


I do like how the cord has a volume control on it. It's nice to be able to adjust the volume of your music in a few spots. 


It's great that the plugin for the headphones is detachable. I like this for going one place to the next. If my headphones are going from home to work I like to be able to unplug it during transit. 



I do like the colors they come in:
  • I got white on the outside with black on the inside to review. This looks good with my computer that I have. Macs generally are white, silver and black.
  • The also come with black on the outside with red on the inside. Red is my favorite color, so I like that combination.
  • My pick would have been their color combination of white on the outside with red on the inside. I just aesthetically like the look of that one.
Cost:

They are only $29.98, but on sale for $13.98. Part of what's held me back from buying new headphones, or putting them on a list for someone to buy me is the cost. I don't use them all the time. Usually headphones like this are $50 and up. I find the cost of this to be really good!

I found the microphone in the headphones to be a little flaky. I wasn't out to get a microphone though.

  1. Those sound great. I only use headphones when running, so I prefer the ear bud type for that.
